The 31-year-old human resources worker, from Manhattan, said: “I saw him on my commute home at the Spring Street stop in Soho.

“I saw a man standing there with an odd looking jacket only to realize that it had bugs in it and that they were cockroaches.

“Other people were staring and making faces or laughing or just in pure shock.

“He seemed completely unfazed by it all.”

Viewers were shocked.
